Cylindrical vibration isolators for compression loads of 6.8 to 14.5 lbf and shear loads of 2.8 to 7.3 lbf, with a steel stud and natural rubber element. The part has a threaded stud of #8-32 UNC and a maximum unthreaded portion not exceeding 1/16 inch. The housing dimensions are 9/16 inch diameter by 1/2 inch height. For 81% isolation under shear loads, it requires a minimum load of 5.3 lbf at 950 cycles per minute or 5.0 lbf at 1100 cycles per minute. Under compression, it requires a minimum load of 12.0 lbf for 81% isolation at frequencies above 1500 cycles per minute. The isolator is zinc-plated steel with natural rubber.
Vibration isolators, vibration isolation mounts, and shock isolators all refer to anti-vibration mounts. Largely used in the HVAC industry, they are also used in everyday items such as computers, printers, fans, and home appliances.
Vibration can cause machines to malfunction by shaking sensitive equipment, causing screws and nuts to loosen or even "back out”. Vibration causes damage from friction to surrounding areas and noise pollution throughout factories. Vibration can typically be controlled but not necessarily eliminated. Anti-vibration mounts are a cost-effective way to avoid damage and malfunction due to excessive vibration.
